My new passport is waiting for me in the embassy, however I'm quite reluctant to collect it now (old one is valid for 4 more years, just full). And I'm even more reluctant to go to IO (CW) to transfer the stamps. Do you know what is maximum time I should go to IO to transfer the stamp since new passport collection?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the time limit for transferring visa stamps to a new passport after it is collected from the embassy, as they are hesitant to pick it up. Comments suggest contacting the embassy and highlight that the old passport may be considered invalid upon issuance of the new one.
Do you guys say that my old passport was cancelled from international databases since the moment of creation of new one, not since the moment of collection by me? But anyhow, I will get letter from the embassy with the date of collection of new passport. The question is how long I can wait before going to IO?
depends on your nationality e g Germany the old passport will only be made invalid at the moment you pick up the new one and they keep the new passport 6 month at embassy before they destroy it if not picked up - so better check with your embassy
